Assign Label To an Item based on resource assignment

[ FlexSim 22.1.2 ]

Hello, I have a conveyor system that can send products to 1 of 6 testers depending on the availability of the tester. In PF i have the tokens being assigned to the resource (1 of the testers) and i am trying to put a label on that token depending on which resource it is assigned. This way i can use the decide tool to split up tokens to the correct process flow based on which tester it is assigned.

When you acquire the object as a resource in Process Flow, you can assign it to a label on the token. Through this reference you could then access labels on the testers themselves and use them those in the decide activity.

In Felix's model He set a label on the stations called Num and that is what he is referencing in the decide activity to decide which connector to take.

In the model I uploaded I provided another way of doing this, it looks at the group of stations and returns the index of the station.

However, I do not suggest proceeding with your current process flow. There is a considerable amount of repetition which usually means there is a way to consolidate.

I added a label that assigns the conveyor that the station is center port connected to. This label is then used through the other activities to reference the conveyor.
